First Week of August Challenges


 Hi!  Welcome to August!  I cannot believe kids are going back to school here already!  What happen to August being part of summer vacation?  
Well, it is time to start a new month of challenges over at Let's Get sketchy .  A new fun challenge every Monday! 

And the monthly book challenge over at Scrap Our Stash 

I combined these two challenges to create my layout this hot August afternoon.

August Book Inspired Stash Challenge ~ Guest Designer Devra Hunt



Your challenge is...
Create a layout inspired by the BOOK COVER.. 
You are allowed to use anything from the cover that inspires you,
for instance, the colors, title, pointed hand, map, etc.
AND...you must include at least (1) decorative paper clip on your page.

 Finally used Heavy Gesso and a Stencil!  Very excited to start doing some mixed-media!


Here are some close-ups






Can you believe it?  I had a paper clip in the shape of a pointed hand!
Like in the book challenge!







Please go on over to Let's Get Sketchy and Scrap Our Stash to join all the fun!  
By the way, why not stop on over to Picture This  a challenge blog where I have been honored to be one of the

Maybe you will get inspired to combine the beautiful Mood-Board there with one of these challenges!
